As nick said, I take it you're talking about german volume training? Well it seems to work for alot of people, although i've heard that it takes alot of perseverence as the weights you use are discouragingly light and it can be a boring program. But you don't go to the gym for the giggles anyway!

here's a good run down

I support this 10x10 thing. I did quads and calves today and i had an insane leg workout:

try this out if ur bored and want to push yourself:

Squats
10 sets of ten reps ( start light, work ur way up, by the 6th or 7 th set youll be taking weight off tust me)

Hack squats

3 sets at 10-12 reps

Lunges: My gym has an indoor track in it that is 1/12th of a mile. We used no weights and went around the track once. At about halfway i was dying, but i finished.

Leg extensions; again 3 sets at 8-12 reps.

Im sure i wont be able to walk tomorrow
